Recently, the Center for Innovative Leadership was invited to work with Furman's Master of Science in Innovation and Leadership (MSIL) students. We had a great time with this amazing group. Keep up the great work! Once a month, students from the MSIL program at Furman University participate in “Fridays in the Field,” where they have the opportunity to work with different members of the community. The November session, led by the Center for Innovative Leadership at Furman University, highlighted a Design Thinking exercise. A standout feature of the MSIL graduate program is its innovative course format. Through their initiative “Fridays in the Field,” students are given the opportunity to venture into businesses and nonprofits, gaining invaluable insights from industry experts while gaining meaningful connections for future endeavors. #repost Furman University Graduate Studies
